cleaning in dusty bahain - 03:59 PM
(filed under 'bahrain')
between packing boxes, i've been doing some cleaning. mostly i've been tackling the tiled floors .. which is every floor in this house since the whole place is tiled. it's nice to have tiled floors since you can clean them properly, especially considering the amount of dust & dirt that kalyani sweeps up every day. i can't imagine living on all that grot if we had carpets & it was all being ground into the carpet pile. ergh.
kalyani sweeps &/or mops almost every day, but it wasn't until i started to look closely & cleaned one or two of the tiles by hand that i realised how much dirt is being ground into the texture of the tiles & into the grouting between them.
i took some pics of the upstairs tiles & the downstairs tiles (which are far worse since they're the first things walked on when anyone comes through the front door through the garage). you can click on the pics to see a larger image of each.
i sort of wish i hadn't started, since i can't stop now that the difference is so obvious. i might have to get kalyani to help me to finish it .. although the most help is when she takes smiley away to play somewhere else so that he doesn't try to 'help' me. lol!! 
packing going well - 03:48 PM

still packing. i've been doing about two boxes a day, on average. i'm up to eight boxes so far of all my own stuff. shroom's going to pack his stuff this weekend, he reckons. i hope he's not leaving it too late. mind you, he won't have smiley hassling him every three minutes to play with him or for boobie or cuddles or the toilet or such things.
i think that maybe i've only got two or three more boxes to fill. then again, i thought that three boxes ago. lol!!
there's always more stuff than you think, even when you got rid of 95% of your belongings to come to the place you're now leaving.
